- Below is video of Mark Henry discussing Andre the Giant at last night's Los Angeles premiere of the upcoming HBO Sports documentary on Andre.
Henry says Andre did lead as an example for him because a young Henry was a fan. The World's Strongest Man recalls his grandmother taking him to see Andre and says he never forget that and it was one of the top 10 moments of his life. Henry said, "How could I not look at him as being an inspiration?"

- Johnny Gargano is keeping the "gone from WWE NXT" storyline going with a tweet that explains how he is still able to appear at WrestleMania 34 Axxess in New Orleans next week. You can read his tweet below. As noted, Gargano will face Tommaso Ciampa in an Unsanctioned Match at "Takeover: New Orleans" but he will be banned from the brand if he loses.

Last year was my very first #Axxess.. It's like Disney World for wrestling fans.

Due to contractual circumstances.. I wouldn't get to participate and see you guys this year.

- Stephanie McMahon and Triple H tweeted the following after attending Thursday's premiere for the HBO Sports documentary on WWE Hall of Famer Andre the Giant, which premieres on April 10th.

I just saw the #AndreTheGiant documentary and was blown away. There was so much to his story that I didn’t know and I’m so grateful to @HBO@BillSimmons the team @WWE and everyone involved for sharing it with the world. Tune in to HBO on April 10th at 10PM EST!

#AndreTheGiant amazingly captures the aura of a man that was larger than the reality, larger than the mythology, and larger than our world in every possible way...
Thank you @HBO and @BillSimmons for producing a documentary with the respect he deserved. See it April 10th. pic.twitter.com/ewMRUtWaeS
